Download or read book Listen to This written by Alex Ross and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-09-28 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of The Telegraph's Best Music Books 2011 Alex Ross's award-winning international bestseller, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, has become a contemporary classic, establishing Ross as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. Listen to This, which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross describes his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of his writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker. These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively. In a previously unpublished essay, Ross brilliantly retells hundreds of years of music history—from Renaissance dances to Led Zeppelin—through a few iconic bass lines of celebration and lament. He vibrantly sketches canonical composers such as Schubert, Verdi, and Brahms; gives us in-depth interviews with modern pop masters such as Björk and Radiohead; and introduces us to music students at a Newark high school and indie-rock hipsters in Beijing. Whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross shows how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. Witty, passionate, and brimming with insight, Listen to This teaches us how to listen more closely.

Download or read book Lotte Lehmann written by Kathy Hinton Brown and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lotte Lehmann was one of the foremost singers of the twentieth century, whose life spanned successful careers in opera, on the recital stage, and as an artist teacher. Few singers have been so acclaimed for accomplishments in all three of these areas of the music profession. Her association with such notable musicians as Arturo Toscanini, Richard Strauss, and Bruno Walter made her career a significant link between the late-romantic style and twentieth-century performers. The purpose of this research is to examine her teaching style, to determine Lehmann's influence on her students, and to ascertain what artistic legacy was passed on to them. This study traces Lehmann's life from childhood and early training, through her development and subsequent emergence as a professional singer in Europe and the United States, and in her role at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California. The data on Lehmann's teaching style was derived from audio and video tapes of private lessons, master classes, and interviews, personal documents and memorabilia from the Lotte Lehmann Archives at the University of Southern California-Santa Barbara, and a questionnaire sent to forty-two former Lehmann students, twenty-nine (69%) of whom responded. The student survey was divided into topics pertinent to the study of singing: technique, repertoire, languages, interpretation, and career advice. Selected Lehmann views and her comments to the students regarding these topics are included. The conclusions drawn from these sources show that Lehmann's teaching placed much more priority on interpretation of the text than on matters of technique. She considered her primary role to consist of inspiring students to recreate the essence of the poem or libretto and perpetuating performance traditions of nineteenth-century and late-romantic opera and German lieder.

Book excerpt: Covering over 1500 singers from the birth of opera to the present day, this marvelous volume will be an essential resource for all serious opera lovers and an indispensable companion to the enormously successful Grove Book of Operas. The most comprehensive guide to opera singers ever produced, this volume offers an alphabetically arranged collection of authoritative biographies that range from Marion Anderson (the first African American to perform at the Met) to Benedict Zak (the classical tenor and close friend and colleague of Mozart). Readers will find fascinating articles on such opera stars as Maria Callas and Enrico Caruso, Ezio Pinza and Fyodor Chaliapin, Lotte Lehmann and Jenny Lind, Lily Pons and Luciano Pavarotti. The profiles offer basic information such as birth date, vocal style, first debut, most memorable roles, and much more. But these articles often go well beyond basic biographical information to offer colorful portraits of the singer's personality and vocal style, plus astute evaluations of their place in operatic history and many other intriguing observations. Many entries also include suggestions for further reading, so that anyone interested in a particular performer can explore their life and career in more depth. In addition, there are indexes of singers by voice type and by opera role premiers. The articles are mostly drawn from the acclaimed Grove Music Online and have been fully revised, and the book is further supplemented by more than 40 specially commissioned articles on contemporary singers. A superb new guide from the first name in opera reference, The Grove Book of Opera Singers is a lively and authoritative work, beautifully illustrated with color and black-and-white pictures. It is an essential volume--and the perfect gift--for opera lovers everywhere.
